the last couple of days here on the east coast have been unusual. there have
been several ground wave openings lately. from fm16, I've worked n3db, k3tkj
on several occaisions and heard kc8ihe, all up in the MD DE area. also
worked n4wi in fm14. lots of noise too. not just heterodyne but noises like
AU was trying to make its way south. BPL? Nah. Hertford's too small for BPL.
Sometimes living in a smal rural area actually has it's advantages.
